The Yuzu development team has just released their Nintendo Switch emulator for a new platform. Today, Yuzu has been ported to Android, bringing yet another Nintendo Switch emulator to mobile devices. This release follows nearly a month after Skyline ended its development. Yuzu for Android's initial release lacks parity with the desktop version, and it currently does not have LDN multiplayer and other features, as the team wants to focus on optimization first and foremost.

You need Android 11 and some Vulkan extensions in order to run Yuzu. You can grab the emulator from the Google Play Store if you want to try it out. A full blog post on the official Yuzu site also details the development process of the port.

Yeah, I hope this will work on my Nvidia Shield TV.

Wow, now my switch is portable!

Does anyone know if this uses the AARCH64 virtualization hardware? That would be super slick.

Imagine if they optimized it? Could run Switch games on anything

Hell yeah! Does this mean we can run Yuzu on Android on Switch?

Just loaded it on my S22 Ultra and it runs ToTK at like 5 fps. I bet other games are decent... but don't expect too much.

We already could do that, Next we need to figure out how to play switch games on an android VM on Ubuntu on Switch!

How does the compatibility fair against Egg NS?

I said something redundant.

Nintendo must be feeling the heat not to have their next console almost hacked immediately and then emulated on PC/Android.

Figures.

It probably requires a high-end Android device. I've got an A53 and it can't run GCN games smoothly, but I'm happy it plays DC buttery smooth (kind of prefer it, tbh).

They said it was ported. Not that it runs well or anything lol.

Can it be run on the Switch running android, though?

My Galaxy Tab S7+ (512GB - 8GB), when I run any Game, it has the Control Overlay in Landscape, along with Menu, Game List, and Settings. However, the Game I try to run........Portrait

This is a battle that will never end and honestly it's pretty entertaining to watch.

Switchroot is android 10, not 11. You couldn't even run it for the lulz, unless you compile android 11 yourself from their source code.
